The reserves of fossil fuels are limited and cannot meet this energy which it is needed. To make use of renewable energy resources to provide the energy needs. In this study, the important kind of resource the renewable energy application is polycrystalline solar panels, has been determined. Polycrystalline panel is the most popular and preferable among the kinds of solar panels which are most favored in the solar panel market. The realized work is spent on all the energy consumed by the polycrystalline solar panel. To measure the current and voltage sensors are used for generated energy. The analogue data from the current and voltage sensors are converted to digital data and a control card with USB output which is fixed to send this data to the computer. Finally, the interface with the C # program was used to display the data from the control card on the computer. Keywords -Polycrystalline solar panel, PIC18F4550, control system, C # interface I. INTRODUCTION The method which is used for producing poly-crystalline silicon is similar to the monocrystalline silicon method. Poly-crystalline silicon is obtained by cooling the molten semiconductor silicon in molds. Cooling semiconductors are sliced in the form of circular, rectangular or polygonal, as well as monocrystalline solar cells, with thicknesses of 0,2-0,3 mm. Then the semiconducting materials are brought together and connected with special adhesives so that they are not separated from each other. As a final step, the antireflective glass layer is glued to form the solar cell. Polycrystalline silicon is not homogeneous because the Czochralsi method or other purification method is not used in the production of poly-crystal silicon. Therefore, the efficiency of polycrystalline solar cells is lower than that of monocrystalline solar cells. Due to the ease of production poly-crystalline silicon, the price is lower than mono-crystalline solar batteries. Polycrystalline solar panels look blue if there is glass to prevent the reflection, silver is the glass, or the glass to prevent reflection. Figure 1.1 shows the poly-crystalline silicon solar cell. Figure 1.1. Polycrystalline silicon solar cell Many researches have been done on solar panels [1-14]. These studies are sometimes based on a single solar panel, sometimes using two or more solar panel types. The most commonly used polycrystalline solar panel was selected in the solar energy experiment set.

MATERIALS AND METHOD The purpose of this research is to provide students in the Electricity Department of Afyon Kocatepe University Dazkırı Vocational School with the practical knowledge and application about solar panels. The system shown in Figure 1.1 is shown. Figure 2.1. Solar energy experiment set Solar Panel Two types of solar panels, monocrystalline and polycrystalline, are used in the solar energy experiment set system. Since the production methods of solar panels are different, reactions to solar rays are different. Thus, it has been determined which solar panel is more efficient in Afyonkarahisar Province. Figure 1.2 shows the solar panels used in the system. Figure 2.2. Solar panels used in the system The technical information of the solar panels used in the system is shown in table 1. Power 20 Watt Maximum Voltage 18,68 Volt Maximum Current 1,12 Amper Open Circuit Current 22,51 Volt Short Circuit Current 1,12 Amper Weight 2,1 kg DOI: 10.9790/1676-1301011722 www.iosrjournals.org 18 | Page Polycrystalline Photovoltaic Test Set Design A. Consumer 20 Watt receiver was used to use all of the electricity generated in the solar panel. B. Control Card Control card; 220 Volt supply input, solar panel input, receiver output, USB output current and voltages. Figure 1.3 shows the control card used in the system. Figure 2.3. Control card used in the system The control board has a voltage and current sensor. The analog data from the current and voltage converters are processed on the control card and converted into digital data. Digital data is sent to the computer via by USB connection. The control card needs to be connected to an external power source so it can measure up to 24 hours. There's a 220 volt input for this. By adding power plant to the 220 volt input, the electricity needed for the sensors and control card which used for the system is provided. In order to increase the sensitivity of the voltage sensors, the solar panels have been designed with respect to the maximum voltage values which has being taken into consideration. The maximum voltage at which the voltage sensor is measured is 30 volts. The sensitivity of the current sensors is also increased by selecting max. 5 Amps, in the same way. C. Interface An interface has been designed through the C # program so that all the data produced by the solar energy experiment set can be displayed on a computer. With this designed interface, the voltage, current and power values of polycrystalline solar panels are shown. In addition, all generated data in the system are recorded in the access database at intervals of 10 seconds in order to get a comparison. Figure 1.4 shows the interface used in the system. DOI: 10.9790/1676-1301011722 www.iosrjournals.org 19 | Page Polycrystalline Photovoltaic Test Set Design Figure 2.4. Interface used in the system. III. RESULT As a result of examining the current, voltage and power values have produced by the solar energy experiment set, the following data were obtained. Figure 3.1 shows a daily voltage graph of 20/06/2017. Figure 3.1. Voltage-Time According to the voltage graph that the polycrystalline solar panel produced between 06: 00-20: 00 hours on 20/06/2017, electricity energy production becomes lowest in the early morning and late in the afternoon. In the noon hours, when the sun's rays are at the vertical, electric energy production has reached the highest level. Since there is no production of electricity in the hours when there is no sun, those hours are not added to the graph. The chart covers the sunrise from 06:00 to sunrise at 20:00. A daily current-time curve is shown in Figure 3.2. DOI: 10.9790/1676-1301011722 www.iosrjournals.org 20 | Page Polycrystalline Photovoltaic Test Set Design Figure 3.3.Power-Time The polycrystalline solar panel is affected by the height of the environment where the yields are, the arrival angle of sunlight, ambient temperature and many other factors. Sometimes the places and times of the polycrystalline solar panel may be more efficient while the polycrystalline solar panel on some circumstances can be higher. When a day's power chart is blurred, the power generated in the early hours of the morning stays at the limit of 5-10 watts, but reaches the limit of 20 watts at noon when the sun's rays are vertical. The energy that is produced after lunch is gradually falling down. IV. CONCLUSION Afyon Kocatepe University Dazkırı Vocational School Electrical Department students have been informed about solar panels in practice. Polycrystalline solar panel on 20/06/2017 194,9522 Wh energy production has been determined .

[email protected] An analysis was conducted herein on the research status of several popular solar cells at the present stage, including silicon solar cell, thin film photovoltaic cell, and dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). In doing so, we concluded that the current situations provide a favorable objective environment for the popularization of organic thin film solar cells. Finally, we reviewed the merits and demerits of the organic thin film solar cell together with the major research focus on and progress of it, and summarized obstacles to and development trails of the popularization of organic thin film solar cells. 1. Introduction As the energy crisis further deepens in the 21st century, the existing development level for solar cells has already failed to satisfy increasing social demands for energy. This phenomenon is mainly reflected in the costly high-purity silicon solar panels, in the defects at new amorphous silicon (a-Si) during energy conversion, and in the limited theoretical energy conversion efficiency (around 25%) of silicon solar panels as well.

Graphene and few-layer graphene fillers, produced by a scalable environmentally-friendly liquid-phase exfoliation technique, were incorporated into conventional thermal interface materials. Graphene-enhanced thermal interface materials have been applied between a solar cell and heat sink to improve heat dissipation. The performance of the multi-junction solar cells has been tested using an industry-standard solar simulator under a light concentration of up to 2000 suns. It was found that the application of graphene-enhanced thermal interface materials allows one to reduce the solar cell temperature and increase the open-circuit voltage. We demonstrated that the use of graphene helps in recovering a significant amount of the power loss due to solar cell overheating. The obtained results are important for the development of new technologies for thermal management of concentrated photovoltaic solar cells.

The objective of this experimental work is to be an initial study on how the electric energy generation of photovoltaic cells varies according to the different wavelength ranges of the solar light spectrum under real operating conditions. Two modules were installed outdoors; color filters, which allow the passage of light at specific wavelengths, were installed on one of them. The amount of energy produced by the module with the filter was compared to the reference module, and the relative efficiency of each filter was defined. As a result, it was found that crystalline silicon modules do not respond uniformly to sunlight, being more sensitive to the red band (relative efficiency of 23.83%) and less sensitive to the green band (19.15%). The infrared contributes to a significant portion of energy production (relative efficiency of 13.56%), overcoming its negative effect of reducing energy generation capacity due to high photovoltaic cell temperature.

We came to implement an idea to make journey easier to handicapped people by using solar energy to move tri-cycle. This project is about building a tricycle that is motorised and is powered by solar energy, the overall layout of this tri-cycle is economical to fabricate and this type of tricycle may prove mile stone in development of technology for physically challenged people. The main content of the tri-cycle is Solar PV panel, DC motor, Controller, Throttle, battery. In this project it is discussed that how solar tri-cycle will help to reduce the effort of handicapped person. I INTRODUCTION The depleting reserves of fossil fuels made the engineers and scientists to look for renewable energy sources. In addition, the environmental decay due to the combustion of fuel is alarming and justifies the design of eco-friendly system. India is spending large amount of foreign exchange to import crude oil even though we have abundant resource of solar energy. If we utilize solar power for local conveyance, a large amount of currency can be saved and we can also ensure pollution free environment and contribute to nation’s economy.
